Concern level

High concern

Plant-derived emollient oil obtained from the seeds of Ricinus communis. It is rich in ricinoleic acid, giving it a very viscous, glossy texture that is especially useful in lip care, balms, and hair products. In cosmetics it functions mainly as an emollient, occlusive, solvent, and texture/shine enhancer. The provided French ingredient string appears to be a garbled translation of castor oil rather than a standard INCI name, and the nearby Clarins ingredient pattern also points to castor-oil-derived lip-oil ingredients.

Interactions

incompatible with: No major direct incompatibilities are well established for cosmetic use., In rich lip or facial oil systems, it may worsen the feel of already heavy emollient blends for acne-prone users.

Risks & Warnings

Generally low risk, but can rarely cause contact irritation or allergy, especially in sensitive skin. Because it is a rich, viscous oil, it may feel heavy or greasy and can be problematic for very acne-prone users. If unrefined or poorly purified, botanical impurities may increase irritation risk.
